Flames fans are the worst... They complain about how expensive hockey games are. Calgary has the cheapest tickets available in the NHL. Bleeds cost almost nothing, and even cheaper or free if you look on CP. Flames fans also complain about how expensive concessions are... Again, Calgary has some of the cheapest stadium beer in the NHL. For food, again, discount vouchers are available on CP. Calgary also has a higher median income than a lot of other NHL cities.

Flames fans are the worst... They complain about how there are way too gambling ads on TV. Calgary (and generally Alberta) loves loves loves pouring their money into 50/50s. A Seattle 50/50 might get $20,000 -- Calgary consistently gets to $100,000. Alberta has more casino density than anywhere that isn't Nevada. Calgarians absolutely love gambling.

Flames fans are the worst... They spend 9 years exulting Brad Treliving as a Wizard and the greatest GMs of all time. The wizard does it again! How did he manage to get player X to sign for that cap hit! What a steal of a trade! But, after two (in hindsight) bad deals/signings, he is written off as the worst GM of all time. Completely normal behaviour.

Have you ever paid attention to what Oiler fans say/do?
